038 Are You Alive?

……

He stayed at the edge of the forest for another half a day, making sure that there was no movement, and then put on makeup and returned to Lianyun City.

The closer I got, the more I realized the cruelty of this monster crossing.

The originally tall and majestic city wall has become a ruined wall, and the strong city defense no longer exists.

There were blood stains everywhere along the way, and the footprints of huge demon beasts.

From time to time, the corpses of the monks could be seen in the grass on both sides of the road, and blood was still dripping.

When he was approaching the city gate, he saw a monk running frantically towards the forest, while another monk was following closely.

Chen Ping silently clenched the hilt of his sword, and then retreated far to the side, not stopping the two of them from chasing after me.

"Fellow Daoist, help me stop him, this person stole my spirit stone. I also ask Taoist friends to help. When the thin monk in the back saw Chen Ping, he shouted loudly.

The monk in front of him also said at the same time:

"Fellow Daoist, don't listen to his nonsense, he wants to rob me, this person has ill intentions, and asks Daoyou to come to the rescue."

Chen Ping couldn't distinguish between right and wrong, and he didn't want to be contaminated with cause and effect, so he just stood far away and gave way:

"I am lowly in my cultivation and have no intention of getting involved in the battle between Taoist friends, please forgive me."

After saying that, he took a detour and walked into the city.

The packages of these two people were bulging, and it was impossible to see who had robbed whom.

In troubled times, it is most difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the battle situation changed abruptly, and the chasing thin Taoist friend found a good opportunity, and a sneak attack from behind took the life of the escaped Taoist friend.

The thin monk took the package from the corpse and stuffed it into his own package, which was so swollen that he didn't know how much stuffed it was in.

The thin monk tidied up and smiled softly at Chen Ping.

"Fellow Daoist, when this monk encounters a thief, but you refuse to come to the rescue, this is your fault." The thin monk grinned and walked towards Chen Ping with his sword.

Chen Ping didn't dare to run with his back to him, just now this thin monk chased and killed the other monk, the moment he shot, Chen Ping saw it, there was something, definitely something, absolutely not ordinary.

You can't leave your back for this person to sneak attack.

The thin monk winked at Chen Ping lightly, then sped up in vain, and the long sword was unsheathed with a bang.

Chen Ping's heart was frowning, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Directly use the Breeze Nine Swords Eighth Style.

The ultimate one-of-a-kind.

Then, the thin monk's chest was penetrated by a sword aura.

'Overly nervous. ’

There's not much to do with the other side's means. ’

'It's unremarkable. ’

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

At the other end of the road, two Taoist friends, a man and a woman, saw Chen Ping from a distance and solved the battle in an instant, and calmly picked up the package. The two of them stepped back some distance, stopping there and not daring to approach.

Obviously afraid of Chen Ping.

Chen Ping glanced at the two loose cultivators in the distance, picked up the package of the thin monk in vain, put it on his back and went to the city, the corpses were too lazy to clean up, there were corpses everywhere here, and no one cared about one more.

The situation in the city is even more shocking.

In the originally clean and tidy West District, the magnificent and majestic family mansions have been turned into ruins, the walls have collapsed, and the crooked houses are in tatters.

As far as the eye can see, it is devastated.

'These should all be caused by the passage of demon beasts, and in terms of destructive power alone, Qi cultivators cannot be compared to huge demon beasts. ’

Luckily, I chose to go to the Sunset Forest, otherwise it would have been dangerous in this environment. ’

Chen Ping sighed with emotion and walked slowly along the main road, while tensing his nerves to avoid being raided by the monks who suddenly rushed out.

In the city, the streets that were once paved with bluestone slabs are now potholed.

There were blood stains everywhere.

A corpse can be seen every short distance, but no one has cleaned up the streets.

Walking monks don't even look at these corpses, it seems to have become commonplace.

In the courtyard of some big families, there are family members and Keqing who are cleaning up after the disaster, trying to restore the glory of the family. But the faces of the busy monks were full of helplessness and a little numbness.

When he walked to the Eastern District, a masked monk suddenly walked out of a house and happened to run into Chen Ping, who was a few meters away.

The two looked at each other for a moment, both silent, but both stopped at the same time, and their hands silently touched the hilt of their swords.

The masked monk couldn't make out his expression, but his eyes were red and murderous, and he was carrying a large package.

The scene was deadlocked.

Chen Ping did not retreat.

The masked monk did not retreat either.

After a stalemate like this for a while, the masked monk silently retreated, his eyes staring at Chen Ping until he retreated into the courtyard, and suddenly ran over the wall from the other side.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and decisively and quickly left the land of right and wrong.

......

Hurrying all the way back to the street where my house is located, it has long been unrecognizable, and broken bricks and tiles can be seen everywhere.

Lianyun City changed overnight.

Chen Ping, who came from the west, first passed by He Xianxiang's house, and the wall of the courtyard had already collapsed. He went in and took a look.

On the wooden door is a yellowed letter, on which are succinctly written a few traditional characters, to the effect of this:

[The owner is not dead.]

If a Taoist friend dares to break into the house and ransack it, the old man swears to kill his entire family.

Messager: He Xianxiang. ]

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth twitched... Ruthless enough.

When he saw his home, the corners of his mouth twitched even more.

The walls of the courtyard have all collapsed, half of the houses have collapsed, the utility room, the talisman room, and the hall have become inaccessible, except for the bedrooms.

Because the main entrance had collapsed, Chen Ping could only jump into the bedroom through the window, and there was dust everywhere.

Someone had obviously entered the room, and many places had been turned into a mess, and even those few worthless ordinary robes had been taken away.

I went out of the bedroom and went to the dining room with an outer wall to take a look... Well, the monster meat and spiritual rice are gone, and even the big rice bowl is gone. The bulky pot is still there.

'Animals, not even the bowls. Chen Ping didn't know why he was so angry about losing a bowl.

I had to start all over again. ’

In this case, the caravan doesn't know if it has come out of that forest, there are so many demon beasts, and there are evil spirits, it is estimated that it is difficult. ’

If so, we can only wait for the next caravan to arrive. ’

However, there is no need to choose to leave now because he is worried that Qi Jianglun's matter will be exposed, with the current situation, no one cares even if ten or one hundred Qi Jianglun die. ’

'I hope that Qingyun Sect will quickly grasp the situation and maintain the order of Lianyun City again, otherwise I am afraid that there will be many days of unrest in the future." ’

In this world, it is not easy to seek the truth. ’

Chen Ping looked at the ruined wall in front of him and sighed with emotion.

He walked to the courtyard and glanced at Yu Qingyi's house, where Taoist robes were dried, and three big words were written on the back of the robe:

[Yu Qingyi].

It seems to be deliberately announcing the message that 'there is someone in this house'.

The door is closed.

There were two small holes in the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window, two big eyes blinking behind the holes, and long eyelashes flashing back and forth.

"Yu Xiaodaoyou?" Chen Ping called out uncertainly, and subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The door creaked open.

An immature goose egg face poked out: "Chen Daoyou, are you still alive?" No... No..., are you alright? ”

Chen Ping: ...... "It's fine. Just came back to life. ”

Yu Lingchun: ......

"Where's your grandfather?"

"It's out, and he told me not to go out."

Chen Ping nodded and said solemnly:

"That's right, it's very chaotic outside now, and there are dangers everywhere, so it's best to stay at home."

"Hmm. That one... My grandfather went out, someone went to your house to ransack, I heard... But I don't dare to go out, sorry Chen Daoyou. Yu Lingchun said apologetically.

Chen Pingleng paused for a moment and said with a smile:

"It's okay, don't worry. Go back and hide yourself. ”

The childish goose egg face shrank back.

Chen Ping turned his head and looked at his neighborhood to the west again, the yard was extremely messy, the doors were open, and the house had obviously been ransacked many times.

... It may be that he is hiding, or he may never come back.

Chen Ping thought of the previous yearning for chance by this neighborhood monk, and guessed that the latter was more likely.

Calming down, he sorted out the current situation.

The monster crossing took place the night before yesterday and ended completely yesterday morning.

Another day passed, and I didn't come back until today.

It was the first day for me, but for many it was the second day after the disaster.

But there is no tendency to settle down at all.

Along the way, looting was happening everywhere.

It's too chaotic outside, so I'd better not go anywhere now, and stay at home." Don't think about looting other people's homes, I don't have anything to do with this windfall, and my life is still important. ’

'Steady, don't go out, quietly brush up on proficiency, and wait until the order is stable. ’

'The bedroom is still there, it's okay to rest. The dining room has a wall down, and it is barely usable. And I still have a few catties of demon beast jerky, so it's no problem to deal with it for a while. ’

After Chen Ping thought about these things clearly, he began to take care of his bedroom, and after cleaning up the garbage and dust, he took more than a dozen cleaning charms, and the bedroom immediately returned to a clean and tidy appearance.

As for the question of the door, uh, it doesn't matter.

The same goes for window access.

That's how to say, 'God has closed a door for you, and He will leave you a window.'"

After cleaning the bedroom, I cleaned the dining room, although there is no wall, but as long as it does not rain, there is no problem, and it can still be used.

As for the issue of repairing the house, let's wait and see, who knows what will happen later.

After cleaning up the dining room, he found a broken robe, hung it on the collapsed wall, and after thinking about it, he decided to copy the sentence on He Xianxiang's declaration sticker.

Without him, it is enough to deter.
